“Mr. Speaker, every community has peace officers who put their lives on the line every day to protect their communities, and we don't say thank you nearly often enough. Today I rise to recognize four very special school resource deputies of the Cass County Sheriff's Office who have been given the Model Agency Award, which is the top honor that is given by the National Association of School Resource Officers. This award recognizes the work of law enforcement officers who promote safer schools and safer children, and they singled out the Cass County program as ``a shining example of the school resource officers program.'' The deputies work with students at Kindred, Maple Valley, Central Cass, Northern Cass, and Mapleton Elementary Schools. Supervised by Sergeant Tim Briggeman and under the command of Captain Jesse Jahner, the deputies are Jason Scott, Joe Crawford, Chris Potter, and Dan Hermann. Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney calls these officers the ``best of the best.'' On behalf of all North Dakotans, I congratulate them and thank Sheriff Laney and his entire staff for the high bar of excellence they deliver in serving all the citizens of Cass County. ____________________”
